In many respects, the investment trust was the progenitor of the investment company in the U.S. The name is somewhat misleading, given that (according to law) an investment trust is not in fact a  trust  in the legal sense at all, but a separate legal person or a company.This matters for the fiduciary duties owed by the trustees and the equitable ownership of the fund's assets.he first investment trust was the Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust, started in 1868 to give the investor of moderate means the same advantages as the large capitalists in diminishing the risk of spreading the investment over a number of stocks.
A trust fund is a financial tool that holds and administers assets for the benefit of another person or organization, called a beneficiary. The initial assets for the fund are provided by a grantor or donor, and a trustee or team of trustees manages the funds according to that person's instructions. The beneficiary receives payment from the fund as a lump sum or in periodic installments, according to the terms of the trust.
